Green Light for the Distribution of Unjoined Minors Sought by Moncloa After the Pact with Junts
The Government is finalizing the details to imminently announce a parliamentary agreement. The same one that will allow the redistribution of 4,400 unjoined minors currently under guardianship in the Canary Islands and Ceuta. The ruling coalition will be able to give the green light to this pact reached weeks ago with the Canary Executive, after having accepted Junts's demand.
This grants the pro-independence party the "comprehensive delegation" of competencies in migration matters. Thus, it will not be necessary to have the support of the People's Party. Although most of its autonomous communities have opposed the proposal because it excludes Catalonia from this distribution.
After a year of negotiations marked by differences and disagreements, this is a new approach to Puigdemont's formation. This will allow the Executive to secure the votes of its seven pro-independence deputies to approve this exceptional distribution of minors.
However, both Junts and ERC have conditioned their support on Catalonia not being part of this reception scheme. For this, they have argued that the community "has already made a considerable effort" in this area. According to government sources, this is the main reason why Catalonia will be left out of the distribution.
Although the central Government seeks to present the measure in a way that doesn't generate controversy.
Meanwhile, this situation has caused discomfort in the environment of the president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo. So far, no representative of the state Executive has contacted him to clarify how the solution will be implemented. One that, let us remember, will be temporary, proposed by PSOE and Sumar to alleviate the migratory pressure on the archipelago.
